Visiting Hours

North Eastern Community Hospital welcomes visitors to the hospital and recognises their importance to our patients. However, to facilitate rest periods, individual wards have specified times during which visiting is not encouraged. Visiting hours are as follows:

   

Steele & Torrens Ward Level 1

11.00 am – 8.00 pm

Maternity Ward Level 2
(Husbands/Partners unrestricted)

2.00 pm – 3.30 pm
6.30 pm – 8.00 pm

Nursing Home Campbell Ward and Payneham Ward
(Dementia Unit Ground Floor Hospital)

11.00 am – 8.00 pm

Visiting hours outside of these hours is at the discretion of the registered nurse caring for the patient. It would be appreciated if:




Children who are visiting are closely supervised and not permitted to wander freely around the hospital
Noise be kept to a minimum
Visitors and children suffering from colds, flu and other contagious ailments should consider waiting until recovery before visiting the hospital

In the maternity unit we encourage our new mothers to get as much rest as possible and to facilitate this we ask visitors (excluding husbands and siblings) if possible to only visit in visiting hours. This allows our mothers to spend time with their baby and their husbands/partners, to be seen by their doctor, to attend education sessions on caring for their baby and most importantly to rest.
